Bella Hadley graduated from Asheville High School in Asheville, North Carolina. As a Political Science Pre-Law major, Bella has post-graduate aspirations to attend law school, hopefully in a Southern state. She plans on practicing law, potentially civil rights with a specific focus on mass incarceration of black Americans, either non-violent drug offenses or death row. This summer 2020 Bella has been researching for Professor Appel on government involvement in civil wars and is hoping to continue researching in the spring with Professor Figueroa.
